Outlook 2000 and broadband.

[karen]

I recently moved from a LAN connection to using broadband
(earthlink DSL) at my home. I am trying to set up my
mail to use Outlook 2000 (Windows XP Professional) to
send and receive email through my Earthlink account.
When I go to Mail Services the only choice I have is
to "check for new mail on: Microsoft Exchange Server"
which I don't think works with Earthlink. How do I had a
new mail server or what do I do?
Thanks, Karen

Reconfigure your mail support type to Internet Mail. Tools->Options->Mail
Services.

Thank you.
I tried that, but it seems to still shows Corporate Work
Group when I go to Help:About Outlook.

Other ideas?

When you clicked on Reconfigure mail support, did you shut down, insert your
Office CD and then reconfigure it?
